Shows up to five related discussions from the same forum at the bottom of every thread, title matches first and then the most recent.
• Keeps readers on the board instead of bouncing back to search.
• Read-only: no schema changes beyond its own settings row.
• Deliberately scoped to the same forum so recommendations stay on topic.
rebuilt as a versioned release from the source deployed on Data-Forums — the 1.x archive was not recoverable, so this is the honest 2.0 line rather than a lost original.

What's included
- Up to five related discussions from the same forum at the bottom of every thread.
- Ranked by recency, read-only: no tables, no settings, nothing stored per view.
- Printed at output time, so the thread templates stay untouched.
- Keeps readers on the board instead of at the end of the page.

Questions people ask
Does it create database tables?
No. It reads what the platform already stores, so there is nothing to migrate or clean up.
Does it edit templates or core files?
No. It runs from hooks, so no core file is modified.
How do I check the file I downloaded?
Every release page prints a SHA-256 checksum. Hash the archive locally and compare — if the two differ, the download is damaged, not the release.
How are updates delivered?
Each version is its own release on this page with a changelog, and the older archive stays available. Install the new one over the old one; your settings and data stay where they are.
